I was ESCTACTIC a few weeks ago when I attended the Australian Youth Dance Festival for the first time. This amazing festival is run every second year by Ausdance, for young dancers aged 14-18, providing them with the chance to work with Australias top choreographers. The festival is a weeks worth of intensive workshops, with a performance by all participants at the closing.

I LOVE dance, however I never thought I would have the opportunity to attend such an amazing event. So when my dance teacher told me he was going to take a gruop of us i was SO happy! The price was a problem though - $250. My single mum wasnt too keen on it; wanting for me to go, but not affording the cost. Thankgod for my wonderful grandfather, pulling through and paying for me!

I was sooooo overjoyed about the whole thing! Probably the happiest i have been for some time now!!!!! WOO HOO :)
